COVID Protocols

PLEASE NOTE THAT BY REGISTERING FOR THIS TOURNAMENT YOU AND YOUR SCHOOL ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS FOR THIS IN PERSON TOURNAMENT. FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE TOURNAMENT!

1.     Masks – Competitors and sponsors are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to wear masks when not competing.

2.     Social Distancing – Every effort will be made to provide adequate social distancing for schools. Keep in mind that we are a smaller school. We will do our best to section off areas of the gym and cafeteria for schools. If space allows we can provide individual classrooms for schools to gather in. It is the expectation of schools to stay in their designated areas when not competing.

3.     Schools should not bring students that are COVID positive. Schools should also not bring students that have exhibited COVID symptoms within 7 days of the tournament.

4.     Although not required by TEA, if a student does contract COVID after the tournament, the school should contact Margaret Toney (East Central High School) so that appropriate contact tracing can be performed.

6.     There should be a school-approved chaperone with students at all times.

Cross-entries – Students will be able to cross-enter 4 individual events in terms of IEs. If one of the IEs is extemp then only one other IE cross-entry will be allowed. Extempers can cross-enter in another debate other than CX.
